#131929 - Tutorials/examples in the manual Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Hi Caslav,
I use Design Explorer 99se, the immediate predecessor of DXP (Protel). I understand and agree with your intention to work through an entire design/development cycle as a learning exercise. It's very much worth the while it will take. Even more worth the while it will take would be to go through the manual chapter by chapter, working the examples they include. You will learn more about how to do things in the day or two this would take than in countless design cycle iterations. They will walk you through drawing schematics (including adding/editing library components), defining and using ERC rules, exporting your schematic to a board design, updating the board from the schematics and vice versa, using the autorouter, defining and using DRC rules, PLD development, doing mixed signal simulations, a whole host of stuff that you might otherwise never fool with. And the manual is written to walk you through each one of these subjects in order, step by step. Good Luck, Joe |
